Someone once said that the dense post road of the Liyang Dynasty today was spread out with the iron hooves of a lame war horse.

A mighty convoy settled in the small hairy slope post house in Youzhou, the post house is not big, but compared with the Central Plains post house, it is more clean and pure, in fact, the convoy goes all the way to the west, after entering the Youzhou under the jurisdiction of Beiliang Road from Jizhou Hezhou, it is found that there are many post houses along the way like fish scales, and there are often feather post horses galloping past. The convoy also made a joke before, heard more about the Beiliang border army rich in arrogant soldiers, the cavalry is one of the best, those big people in the convoy have more or less heard of some border soldiers, as if there are post horses on the road to hit people in the cruel rules of the dead, so when the convoy forward rode a full sixty people, entered the Youzhou realm for the first time met a North Liang post horse riding from north to south, found that the post horse that appeared in the north of the fork in the road continued to run south, it is very likely that the entire horse team will be cut off, you must know that the three or four carriages in the center of the position, but they are all sitting on the palace nobles with red python waist and white jade, if this is a conflict with the North Liang Yi horse, what to doSixty cavalry elite Hu Cong of Jinggi suddenly panicked, although this westward trip to Beiliang, officials from all over the country are eager to worship them as ancestors, but in the face of a few Beiliang post horses, the group of pioneer horsemen without saying a word turned the horse's head to stop the rear convoy, rather than congestion together, but also let the post horse unimpeded, the post horse who had been ready to stop the horse slightly, obviously did not understand what this huge convoy was thinking, along the north-south post road to continue to move forward, at the fork in the road couldn't help but turn his head a few more glances, the eyes were strange, probably thinking that those who looked at the military appearance of the foreigners, it was too polite。 Afterwards, a lieutenant from the Arsenal Department of the Ministry of War explained that the entire convoy knew that through the feather sash inserted behind the post horse, it showed that this person was an ordinary post rider in Youzhou, and the spy information transmitted was only the most common type.

However, the self-asserted vanguard cavalry lieutenant was not reprimanded, and an old eunuch with a seal ribbon in a big red python robe spoke out to the hearts of everyone in the convoy.

"In Beiliang, let's be careful to sail the 10,000-year-old ship. ”

Now the vast majority of Liyang soldiers have understood a truth, there are three kinds of soldiers and horses in the world, weak brigades, strong armies, and the last one is called Beiliang Iron Cavalry.

Last time, King Xinliang only led less than a thousand horsemen to break into the Gyeonggi Army, and the result turned out to be like entering a no-man's land, which made Tai'an City lose face, which directly led to a clan general being held accountable by the Zongren Mansion and resigned, but the Ministry of War did not intervene, but who in the Beijing officialdom does not know that this yamen, who is in charge of the world's military power, has not had a good face for the military generals from the Gyeonggi Department in the past six months, and every time he comes to the door to do something, it is almost the same as owing tens of thousands of taels of silver and not paying it back.

Later, at the end of the battle in Guangling Road, 10,000 snow dragoons suddenly came out of the pass, and Xu Gong, the soldier who returned from Liangliao, personally led the elite of Gyeonggi to intercept it, and the cavalry armies of Jizhou and Qingzhou echoed north and south, and there were more local garrisons trying their best to serve their lives. Now it is rumored in Tai'an City that the reason why Lu Sheng, who had a carp jumping over the dragon gate in the Guangling War, instead of Xu Gong, who has made meritorious contributions to the border affairs of the two Liao, stands out is precisely because of the embarrassment of the thunder and rain, which made His Majesty the Emperor too disappointed in this Confucian general from Jiangnan Province.

The Xiaofu Po Post House has a lukewarm attitude towards these envoys of the Son of Heaven, neither courteous and flattering, nor so cold. The eunuchs of the seal seal are not surprised by this, and they are not nitpicky about this kind of thing, first, the eunuchs of Liyang rarely go out of Beijing, at most they have some secret dealings with the weaving bureaus and local government offices in the Central Plains, and they will not openly appear in the field of officialdom outside Beijing, and second, after the old emperor of Liyang took in the eunuchs of the world, these eunuchs are grateful to the Zhao family, whether it is the old man who has experienced the Spring and Autumn War, or the descendants of the eunuchs they brought out, there have never been rumors of trouble in the inner court for 20 years, and the eunuchs interfering in politics have been extinct。 Han Shengxuan, who is as strong as the previous generation of the master of ceremonies, is only known as one of the three major demons of the Spring and Autumn Period on the rivers and lakes, and there is no doubt about the loyalty of the world's first eunuch to the Liyang Zhao room, and then the young Song Tanglu took over the helm of the ceremonial supervisor, and he is also well-known among the civil and military officials.

The small haired slope post house is not enough to accommodate the eunuchs of the Xuanzhi, The battle of more than 1,000 people, including the imperial guards of the imperial palace and the Jinggi elite cavalry, if it is said that elsewhere, the state and county governments have been properly accommodated, and they promise not to disturb the people, as for whether they have really not disturbed the people, several python eunuchs in the Yin Silk Prison are naturally blind to one eye, and after arriving at the jurisdiction of Youzhou, there are many post houses but not large, and it is common for most of the order delivery teams to hide meals and sleep in the open, but the Yin Silk Supervisor took the initiative to discuss with the Youzhou Post House, how to avoid disturbing the rest and recuperation of the people of Beiliang as much as possible, and the convoy purchased additional items along the way, and they will never open their mouths to Youzhou。

After entering the post house, the three eunuchs in red python suits gathered in the hall as usual to discuss matters, but they did not rush to speak, but drank a pot of tea prepared by Xiao Beard Po Yicheng and waited patiently for the news of a confidant eunuch. Soon the young eunuch respectfully led a figure who looked like a young gentleman, and walked quickly into the hall, and the young eunuch bowed his eyebrows and exited the hall, closed the door, and waited outside the door. When they saw the young man in the scribe's green shirt, the three eunuchs immediately stood up to greet him, lowered their voices slightly and smiled: "I've seen Chen Xianggong!"

Xiang Gong said that it was originally a kind of respectful speech for Lao Liyang, which was specially used to honor the big man in the army or the minister who held the handle of the court. It's just that at that time, the Tang dynasties of East Vietnam and Liyang, the national strength still existed, and there was also a fair statement, but it was extremely indecent, that is, those men with beautiful faces, the voice was delicate and not inferior to the warbler Yanyan, and the Jiangnan had the wind of raising children, and the reputation was a celebrity and gentleman, which more or less ridiculed the meaning of Liyang. In the Yonghui years after Liyang annexed the Central Plains, Tai'an City's Xianggong gradually disappeared, after the auspicious year, the resurgence, especially the inner court, is very respected, the palace eunuchs meet some of the Liyang Gongqing who can walk the palace forbidden land, all like to respect the title of Xianggong. This time, of course, no one dares to confuse Jiangbei and Jiangnan, and in the eyes of the eunuchs with high vision, among the ministers, even one of the six Shangshu can not win this honor, only the Zhongshu Ling Qi Yanglong, the Zhongshu waiter Zhao Youling and the left servant of the province under the door shoot Huan Wen, and the left scattered cavalry Chang Chen Wang, there are only four people, who can let them even call their surnames to the Gong.

The identity of the person in front of him is also revealed.

Chen Shaobao and Chen Wang, the best candidate for the next Liyang Shoufu.

The eunuch of the seal seal is a thin old man with kind eyebrows and good eyes, if he changes the dazzling red python robe into a Taoist robe, maybe it is a fairy wind bone, he sat down after Chen Wang sat down, he did not hide the worry between his expressions, his voice was sharp but not harsh, and said slowly: "Chen Xianggong really wants to go to the north of Youzhou? Without Chen Xianggong as our backbone, our family is shaking in a panic." ”

Chen Wang, who belongs to Weifu's private visit, went out of Beijing this time, and only a handful of people in the capital are qualified to know, and he can count them with one hand, he smiled and said: "Gonggong Liu don't worry, this time he will send a holy decree to Qingliang Mountain, and there will be no mistakes." ”

If it was so perfunctory and comforting to others, no matter how good the eunuch was at raising his qi, he would secretly be annoyed and angry, but since Chen Shaobao said so, the old eunuch was really a little relieved.

The public practice in the officialdom is originally a smart person to be an official, so what he says and does is often full of mystery, and both sides of the dialogue will inevitably think deeply, and they can't wait to break one sentence into eight petals to ponder, and the beautiful name is that the understanding has not arrived. In particular, Zhao Youling, the secretary of the old officials' department, Yin Maochun, the prince of Yonghui, and the likes of Yin Maochun, who would dare to take them lightly when chatting with these extremely clever temple pillars? I am afraid that their casual remark "Today's weather is good" when they retired from the dynasty can make the officials in their ears chew for a long time, catch the wind and shadows, and carefully scrutinize, how tiring they are. Of course, this kind of fatigue still makes many officials happy. But in a Liyang temple, there are still a few different people, even in the "Zhao Family Urn" in Tai'an City, where the world's talents are all in the world, some people still seem to stand out from the crowd, such as the old Shoufu Zhang Julu, Tantan Weng Huanwen, and now there is finally another Chen Wang in the year of Xiangfu. Talking to these three people, no matter the size of the official hat, the official rank, you don't have to dig out your mind to deal with it, in short, it is a very worry-free thing, the reason is very simple, these real celebrities and ministers, you can't flatter them by words, and you won't be guilty of their words, the three of them may not be official saints who have no desires, but even if they have something to ask, presumably not everyone can understand the so-called gains and losses they are in that realm, what will it be?

In the officialdom of Tai'an City over the years, it seems that Jin Lanting has been highly respected, but what is the truth, maybe the slap in the early years of Tan Tanong has already broken the sky.

A mountain is higher than a mountain, smart people will always meet smarter people, just rely on intelligence, it is easy to be an official, but it is not easy to be a big official, it is even more difficult to really hold the Shangshu of a party, and it is even more difficult to be the first assistant of the leaders of the world.

Now the officialdom in the capital is convinced, no matter how high it is, it is not too much to look up to this Chen Shaobao.

Compared with Zhang Julu, who once made Tai'an City tremble, Chen Wang's disadvantage is that the prestige of the master is almost nothing, and there is no temple heritage left by both the teacher and the old man.

The advantage is that Chen Wang is a well-deserved minister of the Son of Heaven, and he is the henchman supported by the current emperor. Or finally ascended to Zhongshu Province, Chen Wang's life and temperament are all in the eyes of the entire Tai'an City, compared to the old Shoufu Zhang Julu, who was sharp after a blockbuster, Chen Wang gave the impression that he was always gentle as jade, and he was not an aggressive character in his bones, which was tantamount to a great good news for the temple ministers, because this means that once Chen Wang becomes the leader of Shangshu Province in the future, the entire Liyang officialdom will usher in a relatively stable period of peace, even if there will still be such and such officialdom, but there will only be ups and downs, regardless of life and death, and there will not even be the kind of desolate scene that leads to a lifetime of career ban due to hatred for one person。

It is very strange to say that almost everyone in the entire Liyang officialdom now does not understand what Chen Wang, who is rising step by step, wants to be an official, Chen Wang has never said it in person, and he has never expressed such emotions.

This time, Chen Wang appeared in the convoy, and Liu Gonggong, the eunuch in charge of the seal of the seal of the seal supervisor, was also shocked after seeing this Zuo Sancai attendant himself, as for why Chen Shaobao secretly joined the convoy, Liu Gonggong and others were secretive, and they didn't even dare to speculate.

So at this moment, Chen Wang opened his mouth and proposed that he should leave the convoy immediately, and went his separate ways to the north, and the three python eunuchs looked at each other.

Chen Wang's expression showed a trace of trance, and after quickly retracting his thoughts, he laughed softly: "The three fathers-in-law may have forgotten that my fellow countryman is in Beiliang Youzhou." ”

Come home rich or famous?

Gonggong Liu cautiously asked tentatively, "Chen Xianggong needs a few thousand Gyeonggi cavalry escorts?"

Chen Wang waved his hand and said: "I don't have to follow a ride, how dare I use a public weapon for private use." ”

Without waiting for Gonggong Liu to speak, another old eunuch who was in charge of the seal ribbon said in a hurry: "Xianggong Chen, don't do it!" Chen Xianggong can rest assured, if all the imperial guards and the Gyeonggi cavalry are handed over to Xianggong, the three of us will not have the courage, after all, the dignity of the imperial court cannot be lost, but Xianggong will take away half of the people, I believe that no one will say more than half a word, if anyone really dares to ...... Chen Xianggong is the mainstay of Liyang today, and he must not take the slightest risk in Beiliang, otherwise the three of us will not have the shame to return to the capital alive!"

Liu Gonggong, the eunuch of the palm print, also nodded vigorously in understanding.

Chen Wang smiled and said, "Three fathers-in-law, Your Majesty has personally asked one person to escort me back to my hometown. ”

Most of their lives have been in the palace of Tai'an City, and the three old eunuchs who are the most good at chewing words were suddenly shocked.

Urge!

Today, who can get His Majesty the Emperor to "implore" to escort Chen Wang back to his hometown?

Chai Qingshan of Dongyue Sword Pond obviously does not have this weight, and the ancestor of the Wu family's sword mound is probably a little worse.

Chen Wang's point stopped, and after explaining some matters related to the delivery of the decree with the three eunuchs, he got up and left.

After the three python-robed eunuchs personally sent Chen Wang outside the hall, they saw a strange eunuch with a young face standing at the foot of the steps.

But after Chen Wang saw him, he nodded slightly, the latter was indifferent, and when the two turned to leave, it was vaguely that the young eunuch's figure was more forward.

Not long after, a carriage quietly left the Xiaojiapo Post House and headed north.

Before Chen Wang boarded the carriage, he thanked the groom and said, "Mr. Lao." ”

The young eunuch, who only wore a coat in the clothes of ordinary eunuchs, had a cold face.

The carriage was slow, and within half a mile, there were two horsemen parked beside the post road, an old man with a sword box on his back, and a woman with a sword as beautiful as a flower.

It was the young vassal king who personally absorbed Mi Fengjie, the master of the Xuan Realm who entered the water room, and Fan Xiaochai, who is now in the water room.

The two horsemen acted as servants, and followed behind the carriage not far or near.

In the next post house, another young official from Beiliang who carried a pot of green ant wine boarded the carriage and sat opposite Chen Wang.

He looked at this Zuo Sancai attendant who was roughly the same age as himself, and looked at Chen Shaobao, the highest official of the Beiliang clan in the Liyang Imperial Court, he raised the wine jug in his hand and asked with a smile, "Lord Chen, do you want to drink some?"

Chen Wang's face was flat, and he shook his head, "Don't drink." ”

He sighed in his heart.

If the good ones don't come, the ones who come are not good, it is estimated that our prince will not be able to eat this time, no wonder he dare not come over and run into the wall in person.
